Algae


            Algae has the characteristics of
            plants. They have chlorophyll            Chlorella
            and can produce their own food                                          Volvox
            through the photosynthesis
            process. Examples of algae are
            Chlorella, Chlamydomonas, and
            Volvox.
                                                              Chlamydomonas



                                                                                          Volvox

                                                              Protozoa
           Paramecium

                                                              Protozoa have the characteristics
                      Paramecium                              of animals because they can
                                                              move to find food. They can
                                                              mainly be found in ponds, lakes,
                                             Amoeba
             Virus                                            and rivers. Examples of protozoa
                                                              are Paramecium and Amoeba.
            Viruses are the smallest
            microorganisms. They can
            only live and reproduce
            when they are inside other
            living things. Viruses can
            only be seen using electron
            microscopes. Examples of                                               Influenza virus
            viruses are Bacteriophage,        Bacteriophage
            Human Immunodeficiency
            Virus (HIV), and Influenza                    Human Immunodeficiency
            virus.                                                Virus (HIV)


                               State the meaning of microorganisms and explain the
                               different types of microorganisms found around us.
